The U.S. Navy never said in an official report that they think perpetual motion machines are real and deserve further research, something they did say about cold fusion last spring. The reason why the recently announced Dept. of Energy cold fusion review is so significant is because if they come down on the side that cold fusion is legit, it will open up the patent office and government resources to cold fusion.

What cold fusion debunkers don't get is that a lot of credible research has been undertaken into cold fusion since 1989 and all that research is starting to bear fruit. For some reason, people like yourself, are citing the same arguements why cold fusion couldn't possibly be real. Arguements that are rooted in the evidence that was available 10-15 years ago. A lot has changed, a lot more is understood about what is going on in the cold fusion cell, and a lot of the problems of reproducibility (a legitmate problem for skeptics to point to) have been worked out. We have a bet for $500 for ten years. If two credible labs confirm the cold fusion effect (I'd argue that more than two already have, but we'll wait until some major universities start confirming the effect) and cold fusion papers start appearing in peer reviewed scientific journals, then the bet is over, if not, you win. Enough said, let's see how things play out. I've been waiting 15 years, I can wait another 10 to see how things work out.

Eight-page article by Bennett Daviss about the U.S. Navy's 2002 two-volume cold fusion report, "Thermal and Nuclear Aspects of the Pd/D2O System: A Decade of Research at Naval Laboratories."
